In the hills overlooking the gorge are hot springs and steaming geysers which the reason for the name "Hell's Gate" given to it by the German naturalist Dr

A good park to visit as part of a day trip that includes a stop at Lake Naivasha. The drive from Nairobi provides some good views of the rift Valley. It is possible to use the fast road one way and the old road now used for trucks in the other direction
